Now Accepting New Clients (Feb 2025): Do you need a therapist who actually understands how trauma impacts the body and brain, and how it affects all your relationships - especially the one with yourself? Maybe you've tried therapy before, but felt like you were just venting - but you need to learn how to actually PROCESS your emotions, not just talk about them. You've tried all the things - meditation, journaling, breathwork, medication, positive thinking, you've saved all the therapy tiktoks but you're still stuck. You have felt this way for a while and are not only ready, but are fully committed to making real change.
